The trio of Shinou are in the lakes afterall, and they are those 3 psychic weirdies you see in the mini-sprites. Pink one is Emuritto, Yellow one is Yukishii, Blue one is Agunomu. Team Galaxy captures all three of them and you gotta free them. They are said to be godly beings as well.

After you free the trio from Team Galaxy (which you have to fight the admin Saturn again), you can head to the sacred shrine on top of the Tengan Mountain, where the boss awakens Diaruga or Parukia. Your rival with help you double battle Mars and Jupiter, you then fight the boss, who has Weavile, Crobat, Gyarados and Murkrow evo - Donkarasu.

Diaruga/Parukia's powers are starting to overwhelm Shinou, but the legendary trio appears to stop it, and you fight D/P. The masterball is given to you by the Team Galaxy boss actually (ya, call it weird) after you defeat him the first time before you free the trio from his headquarters.

And it seems like all those evos of previous pokemons following Weavile aren't counted in the Shinou dex. Weavile is at 145, and 146,147,148 are already the legendary trio, followed by Diaruga and Parukia at 149 and 150.

Edit: Oh, and Jasmine from Johto's Olivine makes a cameo, she appears in the 8th gym city to give you HM07.

In a cave, just like the Chansey woman before, you partner up with a guy named Gen who has a Lucario, funny thing is the guy is just like Arlon from the Lucario movie.

Oh, and a couple of bad modifications they've made to the D/P game mechanics. First off, surf hits your partner too now, just like earthquake. Second, in double battles, let's say you faint one trainer's pokemon, this trainer will not send out his second pokemon until the turn is over.

Let's take an example here. Let's say both of your opponents have a series of Gravelers, and you have two Venusaurs both knowing razor leaf. In the 3rd gen, if both your Venusaurs use razor leaf in the same turn, and the first razor leaf manages to faint both oppoents at the same time, your opponents will send out their next Gravelers, so the razor leaf of your second Venusaur will hit these.

Now in D/P, your opponents won't send out their next ones, which means the razor leaf of your second Venusaur will hit nothing. Then the turn ends, then your opponents send their next round of Gravelers out. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

Just a note, I captured the alternate form of Karanakushi. It was in Route 213. I will post a pic when I get home

Btw, for Karanakushi, its colour depends on its location found. If it's found to the west of Shinou, it is pink. If it's on the eastern side, it will be blue. Minomucchi seems to share a similar trait but have 3 different colour forms.
